Chapter 205: Phantom of the Sun and Moon

Three war emperors had besieged them, yet one war emperor died; even Li Long could not escape blame.

“You are Yang Tian.” The white-robed elder walked slowly from the void. He was about fifty, his cultivation nearly reaching the peak of war emperor. His name was Li Long, of the same generation as Li Dong.

Just as Yang Tian was about to reply, Yang Ba’s aura awakened, like a crouching dragon. Purple light shot into the sky, his internal aura climbing step by step. The energy fluctuations gathering around him were terrifying—Yang Ba was breaking through in cultivation!

Borrowing the power of the Blood Essence Pill, Yang Ba’s blood energy surged violently, breaking through like a splitting bamboo. The pill’s power was immense; the breakthrough proceeded without any hindrance, instantly shattering the barrier and advancing to the ninth heaven of war king!

“Big brother actually broke through? So fast?” Sensing Yang Ba’s surging aura, a smile rose on Yang Tian’s face. It seemed Yang Ba had been stuck at the eighth heaven of war king for a while, and with the Blood Essence Pill’s power, he directly broke through the barrier.

Kun Hu and the others all had smiles on their faces. With Yang Ba’s breakthrough, their chances against the elder glaring at them increased slightly.

“Even if you break through, you still die!” Li Long sneered. His figure swiftly dashed toward Yang Ba, golden blood energy surging, a terrifying might erupting.

“Twelve-Cycle Killing Formation!” Yang Ba’s eyes snapped open, his black hair wildly dancing, purple light shooting from his pupils, his aura majestic. He stared at Li Long, shouted loudly, and a five-colored spear appeared in his hand.

Twelve figures instantly formed the killing formation. Yang Ba’s strength soared wildly, and when it neared the fifth heaven of war emperor, the surging momentum slowly halted.

“This killing formation is indeed strange, able to amplify cultivation so much.” Seeing this, Li Long’s pupils contracted slightly, then a hint of joy appeared on his face. With this formation, the Li family’s strength would soar greatly, perhaps even surpassing the Qingyang Empire!

“Kill!” Yang Ba roared, battle qi soaring to the sky. His black hair danced wildly, the five-colored spear swept across, shaking the heavens. The killing aura within him burst forth, nearly dyeing the void blood-red.

Li Long was like a lion, his golden blood energy surging like a dam, pressing down overwhelmingly, clashing with Yang Ba.

Yang Tian glanced over, then without any hesitation, he dashed toward Yun’er.

After prolonged consumption, Yun’er’s internal energy was running low. Against a war king, she could only defend herself; if this continued, she wouldn’t hold out much longer.

Swish! Swish! The purple-gold small sword gleamed, emitting wind and thunder sounds. Its contained will burst forth, radiating crystalline light, its energy fluctuations terrifying.

Crimson light surged. The Tianshu Divine Sword hummed, its sharp metal aura spreading. It transformed into a golden lightning bolt, piercing toward the war king from behind.

Sensing the attack from behind, that war king didn’t dare be careless. Yang Tian had made such a name for himself—it couldn’t be just luck.

That war king was a middle-aged man around thirty, who had been managing affairs in Zhenyao City. His name was Li Feng, and he had just stepped into war king not long ago.

The red great bell clanged, radiating divine light. Its hundred-zhang-wide mouth spewed red mist, covering the Tianshu Small Sword.

“Duo!” Yang Tian’s mind moved, and the Tianshu Divine Sword unleashed dozens of brilliant divine beams, shaking the red bell repeatedly.

“Hmph.” Li Feng sneered. His sleeve flicked slightly, blood energy surged out, pouring into the red bell. The shaking bell immediately steadied.

Just as Li Feng sneered, a green jade seal appeared above his head. Its contained power erupted, and a green river suddenly descended, washing toward Li Feng’s head.

“Scram!” Seeing this, Li Feng’s pupils contracted slightly. After fighting for so long, he was somewhat wary of the treasures in Yun’er’s hands. He punched out, shaking the void, tearing apart the green river.

Rumble! Behind Li Feng, the Golden Crow Divine Furnace pressed down. A terrifying fire domain surged overwhelmingly, divine patterns spiraling upward, crashing toward Li Feng from behind.

Flames shot into the sky, rushing toward him. Li Feng’s palm instantly turned jade-like, a vast pressure surged out, and a phantom of a fierce beast manifested, pressing down on the Golden Crow Divine Furnace.

A tremendous force erupted. The Golden Crow Divine Furnace clanged, emitting a piercing sonic boom. Sparks flew from its body, and under this force, the furnace was sent flying.

Yang Tian was sent flying. His feet tapped the ground repeatedly, and his figure appeared in front of Yun’er.

Yang Tian’s blood energy rippled throughout his body. If not for his strong physique, he would have been injured by the shock.

“We need to leave quickly; the longer we delay, the more dangerous it gets.” Clenching his fist, Yang Tian’s expression was extremely grave. With his current cultivation, he had no chance against a war king.

“Yun’er, rest for a while. Leave this to me.” With that, Yang Tian’s foot suddenly stomped the ground. Silver light shimmered over his entire body, and thunder arcs surged.

Rumble! A river of blood energy instantly appeared above his head. The rainbow-like blood energy stirred the heavens and earth, a powerful force locking onto the void. Above the blood river, countless stars twinkled, and the Tianshu star shone brilliantly.

Yang Tian manifested the phenomenon of Stars Shining Over the Azure Sky, drawing everyone’s gaze. The two war emperors of the Li family showed shock, recalling what had happened before—the phenomenon in the Ten Thousand Mountains was indeed triggered by Yang Tian.

“How does this kid have such good fortune!” Li Long’s expression turned ugly. This rare ancient phenomenon was extremely difficult to condense.

“Stars Shining Over the Azure Sky… good kid…” Yang Ba clenched his fist, a look of excitement on his face. This ancient, terrifying phenomenon was immensely powerful; if cultivated to perfection, it could even draw on the power of stars.

“Don’t be too happy. He dies today!” Li Long sneered. The golden great bell clanged, golden divine flames poured out, charging toward Yang Ba’s head, golden divine light shooting directly.

“Heh, who dies is still uncertain.” Hearing this, Yang Ba chuckled. Although this elder’s strength was near the peak of war emperor, the earlier battle had drained him greatly, and he could no longer fight at full strength.

The stars shone brightly, the Tianshu star especially dazzling. Yang Tian’s cold gaze fixed on Li Feng, a sneer appearing on his face.

In their eyes, the sun and moon grew increasingly brilliant, as if about to manifest at any moment. This was also the shadow of a terrifying phenomenon, but Yang Tian had been suppressing its manifestation.

“Chi…” Inside the red bell, the purple-gold small sword had been suppressed for a while, but the Tianshu Divine Sword autonomously unleashed its divine might. The purple divine light was overbearing, shaking the red bell into constant wailing.

“How is this possible? I cut off my divine sense…” Sensing the change inside the red bell, Li Feng’s expression shifted slightly. A thought arose in his mind: that purple-gold small sword had developed intelligence!

Just as Li Feng was pondering, starlight surged from Yang Tian’s back. After more than half a year of seclusion, devouring a sea of star pills, the star phenomenon had expanded several times.

Countless stars fell, like a patch of stars flying from beyond the sky. The energy fluctuations were terrifying, like a tidal wave, sweeping over every part of Li Feng. He was completely submerged in the wave.

“Come out!” As Li Feng was enveloped by the silver light, Yang Tian shouted. The Tianshu Divine Sword knocked the bell away and instantly shot into the galaxy.

“Chart of the Zhou Tian Stars, Tianshu appears!” His hand suddenly clenched. With Yang Tian’s shout, the Tianshu Divine Sword merged into the Tianshu star, directly unleashing terrifying divine light.
